(A variant on this is the disk laser, in which the solid-state laser medium is disk-shaped instead of a rod; disk lasers are all diode-pumped.) Solid-state lasers are used mostly for conduction ...

The laser diode market Laser diodes are used in a growing number of applications that include cutting and welding, machine vision, data communications, range finding and medical diagnostic systems.

The traveling wave model is commonly used in the simulation of semiconductor laser diodes and photonic integrated circuits. When the laser diode is cascaded with other passive elements of relatively ...

Semiconductor laser diodes (SLDs) are often packaged with a photodiode. The output current from this photodiode can be monitored to regulate the output power intensity of the laser diode. SLDs, ...

Multi-chip beam combining is applied for high-power laser diodes. In this method, fast collimation of the laser diode is an important process. Diode laser beam divergence is the primary parameter to ...

Renesas Electronics has announced the company's first Blue Violet semiconductor laser diode with a wavelength of 405nm and a new structure incorporating an optical waveguide into the semiconductor ...

An organic light-emitting diode has been integrated with an optically driven organic laser to produce laser light from electricity. The design bypasses many of the challenges posed by direct ...

Small is the new big. China, Taiwan, and United States physicists have teamed up to develop the world’s smallest semiconductor laser. This emerging photonic technology breakthrough has potential ...

The S1 from xTool is something a little different. It's a diode laser with a large enclosure and a powerful 40-watt laser that can cut and etch just about anything you need, with a few caveats.

Meister et al. also provide a thorough review of other quasi-cw diode-laser-pumped 3-micron Er-lasers capable of generating 30 mJ energies, but these are not able to be optimized for efficient ...
